Maher was taking a centrist point of view. You should try it some time.You don’t play Identity Politics? Really? What do you think Maher was just doing in that bit you posted?

WTF? Where do you get that from his post?Nice, like Phil you want to accuse all Palestinians of being terrorists, including a 90 year old grandmother?...
He's fallen so far down that hole I don't even think ''Hope for Paws'' could rescue him at this point.WTF? Where do you get that from his post?
(p.s. When are you going to admit that Hamas IS a terrorist group instead of continually making excuses for them?)
Really? Quoting Omar and the founder of BDS while saying BDS is bullshit is a white supremacist view? I guess Trudeau, the US congress, the UK, Germany, and much of the EU are white supremacists in your mind because they have all condemned BDS as counterproductive and often an excuse for anti-semites.Maher echoes the language of white supremacists/colonialists who suggest that the natives are 'violent' or 'savages' that deserve to be violently occupied and oppressed.
Not a winning argument, unless you're also someone who thinks that Palestinians are a 'lesser race'.
That you, Oracle?
That’s your idea of a centrist point of view? LOL...What about genocide and ethnic cleansing? Is that “centrist” too?Maher was taking a centrist point of view. You should try it some time.

As I responded to Franky, condemning BDS is the view of our PM, the US congress, the governments of the UK and the leaders of many EU countries. Sounds pretty centrist to me.That’s your idea of a centrist point of view? ...

I am really at a loss. You complain about Maher bashing BDs and then say it's not about BDS? Your nonsensical arguments get even more warped.WTF?
Do you even read what you post?
There was no mention of BDS in the post you replied to.
Its not the view of the majority of Canadians, so in this case its not centrist, its echoing the view of a politician.As I responded to Franky, condemning BDS is the view of our PM, the US congress, the governments of the UK and the leaders of many EU countries. Sounds pretty centrist to me.
You are aware that the Palestinians sided with Adolph in WW2, the big one, right?That’s your idea of a centrist point of view? LOL...What about genocide and ethnic cleansing? Is that “centrist” too?
LOL...They we’re counting on the Nazis to liberate them from being occupied by the British. And now they’re occupied by the Israelis. Not much of a choice.You are aware that the Palestinians sided with Adolph in WW2, the big one, right?
And what was their purpose?
Maher's just calling it right down the middle here.
Is it possible you will support any group or cause that is anti-Western and/or anti-American?BTW, TO...I don’t view Maher as a leftist. He’s more of a libertarian who thinks trump is an asshole. I find Maher himself strays to the asshole side of the debate, though, whenever he discusses Islam. His thinking is shallow and ignorant. He hates Muslims almost as much as trump.
So you think they are as evil as modern day Germans?You are aware that the Palestinians sided with Adolph in WW2, the big one, right?
For white, Christian, American wrath, you mean.Israel is a terrific proxy for targeting anti-American wrath.
https://forward.com/opinion/428488/...licans-love-israel-their-own-white-supremacy/Republican support for Israel, in other words, isn’t driven by American Christians as a whole. It’s driven by conservative white Christians, whose political identity sits at the intersection of religion and race. In the Trump era, conservative white Christians have grown increasingly obsessed with preserving America’s religious and racial character, and they see Israel as a country that’s doing just that.
Most Republicans fear a less white, less Christian America. Earlier this year, Pew asked Americans whether it would strengthen or weaken “American customs and values” if whites ceased being the majority. By a margin of 46 points, Republicans said America would become weaker. And if Republicans fear America becoming less white, they also fear it becoming more Muslim. A New America poll last November found that 71 percent of Republicans believe Islam is incompatible with American values and 74 percent, according to an Economist/YouGov survey last June, think Muslims should be temporarily banned from entering the United States.
These racial and religious fears form the backbone of Republican opposition to immigration. As Clemson University’s Steven V. Miller has shown, Americans who want less immigration are almost six times more likely to be motivated by racial resentment than by economic anxiety.
I complained about Maher's opinions echoing those who fear a white genocide.I am really at a loss. You complain about Maher bashing BDs and then say it's not about BDS? Your nonsensical arguments get even more warped.
I don’t know why you would think that. If I don’t hate Islam it means I hate the West?Is it possible you will support any group or cause that is anti-Western and/or anti-American?
Israel is a terrific proxy for targeting anti-American wrath.
So you think they are as evil as modern day Germans?
Why not?LOL...My friend Jim won’t even travel to Germany anymore. It’s not like it used to be.
Oh I would choose the British over the Germans any day if I had a choice.LOL...They we’re counting on the Nazis to liberate them from being occupied by the British. And now they’re occupied by the Israelis. Not much of a choice.

I do not believe that all Muslims are terrorist, wife beating, gay hating, water park groping, female genital mutilating animals. I believe they are actual human beings. I even believe that the ones who do bad things are probably doing so for a reason and it behooves us to try to understand what’s going on and work with them accordingly. Approaching them in an ignorant, bigoted manner will probably not turn out well...not to mention the fact that going thru life being a bigoted, ignorant pussy who is scared of his own shadow is not how I care to live my life.Oh I would choose the British over the Germans any day if I had a choice.
Islam stance on gay rights and women's rights is about as repressive as it gets. I never can get my head around why the left fights so hard for a religion that is so intolerant. Pretty big oxymoron if you ask me
